Dollar General Coffee: Glass Hazard
Dollar General recalled three lots of Clover Valley instant coffee after discovering the presence of glass fragments.
The coffee was distributed across the U.S. (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) between July 9 and July 21, 2025.
The affected lots are L-5163 and L-5164, both best by 12/13/2026, and L-5165, best by 12/14/2026.
Glass pieces in food can cause serious mouth, throat, or digestive injuries, though no reports of harm have been made yet.
If you have this coffee, dispose of it right away. For refunds, reach out to Dollar General’s customer service via email or phone.
Target Cookies: Wood Fragments Risk
Give and Go Prepared Foods has recalled about 800 cases of Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies sold at Target because they might contain wood fragments.
The recall covers 10-count packages marked with code Lot 25195 and was distributed in multiple states, including the Northeast and Midwest.
This situation is classified as a Class II recall by the FDA, meaning it’s unlikely to cause lasting harm, but may result in reversible health effects.
Target customers can contact Guest Relations for a full refund if they purchased these cookies.
Wegmans Camembert Cheese: Listeria Alert
Wegmans pulled several cheese items from shelves after detecting listeria monocytogenes contamination in its Camembert varieties.
Recalled items include Wegmans Medium Camembert, Cheese Flight, Grilling Camembert, and Caramel Apple Pecan Topped Brie, with specific UPCs and dates.
No illnesses have been reported to date, but listeria can be particularly dangerous for young children, older adults, or those with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms of listeria infection can include fever, severe headache, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, but healthy adults typically recover quickly if affected.
“Infection with listeria during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or stillbirth.”
Stay proactive: always check recall information before serving packaged foods. If in doubt, toss it out and seek a refund.
